Support Our Journey to a Safe and Loving Birth

Our journey to welcome our baby is filled with hope, but also with significant challenges. The public hospitals here have practices that are far from what we consider safe and comforting. From laboring alone to questionable care, the thought of navigating this alone is overwhelming.

Your support will help us secure a private hospital where we can ensure a caring and supportive environment for both me and our baby. Every contribution brings us closer to a safe and loving birth experience.

Your generosity will make a world of difference to our growing family and other families, as everything that exceeds our needs will be donated to other families in need.
